Why do folk compare BB offerings (and prices) of 10+ years ago to TODAYS offerings and prices ???? <br /> <br />My 51 loco fleet was bought within the LAST FIVE YEARS. That allows a better comparison of recent offerings, IMHO. <br /> <br />To compare the price of even a 5+ year Athearn BB to a recent Atlas Master Silver is a bit much! <br /> <br />My new Atlas Master Silver Dash 8-40BW cost far more than my old BB Athearn SD40-2 , but the Atlas has FAR better (and more correct) detail, a FAR better drive system, directional lights instead of the "bonfire in the cab", working ditch lights, is DCC ready, and is worth the price, IMHO. <br /> <br />But when an Athearn RTR price approaches the Atlas, but without the quality and features of the Atlas models ... well, I know which I will buy !!! <br /> <br />As I said, Atlas just took the lead in my loco count ! <br /> <br />
